If you're
going to San-Francisco
wear motherfucking flowers in your hair
If you're going to San-Francisco
wear motherfucking flowers in your motherfucking hair
[Performed Lyrics 5/24/2000]
If you're going to San-Francisco
Be sure to wear flowers in your hair
If you're going to San-Francisco
be sure to bring a machine gun, okay
(Billy: that's the 4th verse, it's on the single, you don't hear the 4th verse)
the earthquakes will get you in San-Francisco
Natural Disasters are in the air
If you're going, tear a piece of my heart out
(James: what's that other Tony Bennett song?
Billy: "I Left My Heart in San-Francisco")
I left my heart in San-Francisco
(oh, wait, the streets of San-Francisco)
[Official Lyrics]
If you're going to San Francisco
Be sure to wear some flowers in your hair
If you're going to San Francisco
You're gonna meet some gentle people there
For those who come to San Francisco
Summertime will be a love-in there
In the streets of San Francisco
Gentle people with flowers in their hair
All across the nation
Such a strange vibration
People in motion
There's a whole generation
With a new explanation
People in motion, people in motion
For those who come to San Francisco
Be sure to wear some flowers in your hair
If you come to San Francisco
Summertime will be a love-in there
If you come to San Francisco
Summertime will be a love-in there
